He is a really good doctor, very down to earth. He has a dry sense of humor thou but none of us are perfect!

Smart and quick thinking physician

Thankful Dr. Bell was the physician on call when I took my father to the ER for a severe GI bleed. We will always be appreciative for the efforts he made where he saved my fathers life. Blessed he is in the Lowcountry!

Five Stars

Worst medical consultation ever

Dr Bell was patronizing, rude and arrogant. He did not listen seriously to my concerns. The final straw was when he made a rude remark about my hysterectomy scars. Please stay away from this toxic practice. If you check other poor reviews, Bell seems to have issues with younger, female patients. A total misogynist.

Graci Finkle

I have been to many many doctors and I have to say Dr. Bell is one of the most competent, old school doctors who really wants to solve medical issues. He is extremely thorough and spends a lot of time discussing options with you. I highly recommend him for any person in need of an excellent gastro guy, especially if you are complicated.

Dr Bell is an excellent Gastroenterologist!

Dr Bell has been my Gastroenterologist since 2014 when he did an emergency endoscopy to stop a bleeding ulcer. I arrived at hilton head hospital with a hemoglobin count of under 7.0 and Dr Bell was able to move me from the ER to the OR within 15 minutes for my emergency procedure. He has been my Gastroenterologist ever since and has successfully treated several other Gastro issues that I have encountered over the past several years. Additionally, his staff is excellent!
